John,

I look forward to seeing pictures of your mosque. Just curious - would the mosque be appropriate for a Crusades diorama?

Guessing it would be ... the crusades were about the clash of the christian and islamic empires..ruined churches or mosques would fit into the picture..

as (possibly ) the only resident muslim here, i'm very curious to see the mosque diorama.

i do not find the idea offensive, as if its tastefully and tactfully done, it can be a superb diorama.

mind you, towards the end of WW2 desert war, even Monty's boys storm a few mosques in Africa to flush out Rommel's troops stubbornly garrisoned inside.

sincerely,

nasir kasmani.
